.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fIpacman\-conf\fR is a utility for parsing the \fIpacman\fR configuration file and returning script\-friendly output\&. It is designed to properly handle non\-trivial configuration features such as variable interpolation and the use of the Include directive, and guarantees that it will return the same configuration values which \fIpacman\fR itself would use\&.
